  • Tower Activity - Complete the following activity in your journal.
Donald Trump wants to build a 100 meter high tower as quickly as possible. He has unlimited resources and an unlimited budget and is willing to spend any amount to get the job done.
He has chosen to build the tower with blocks that are 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, but only 1 meter tall. The blocks interlock on top and bottom (like legos). They cannot be stacked sideways.
Using special lifters, putting one stack on top of another stack takes one week regardless of how high the stacks are.
Journal #11: What is the shortest amount of time that it will take to build the tower? (Write down your thoughts, and draw an illustration, chart, or graph in your journal.)
Suggestions:
· Use something like legos, checker pieces, or a graph to help solve this problem.
· Start with a smaller tower of 5 or 10—solve a smaller problem.
· Extend that knowledge to the larger problem.
